The Force was definitely with her.

We can only imagine how nerve-wracking it must be to audition for your first major movie, especially if it's the opportunity to be part of a series as big as Star Wars. But that didn’t scare off Daisy Ridley. A never-before-seen audition tape of the star, included in the DVD’s special features, is proof that the actress completely nailed her audition. (Well, duh, she got the part, didn’t she?)

"What we were looking for was someone new," explains director J.J. Abrams in the new clip. "This character needed to be vulnerable and tough, sweet and terrified. And to find someone that no one knew who could do all these things took a lot of looking.”

Daisy was certainly new to Hollywood, but there was no denying her powerful reading of the intense scene between Rey and Kylo Ren during a pivotal moment in the film. The director even asked Daisy to read for him twice and she was able to deliver heartfelt tears like a pro both times. Do we even need to say it? The Force was definitely with her.
